Larvae
of
Sardina
pilchardus
were
obtained
in
captivity
from
fertilized
eggs
captured
in
the
wild,
and
grown
in
a
10
000
L
tank.
Isochrysis
galbana
,
Artemia
franciscana
nauplii
and
live
zooplankton
were
used
as
prey
during
the
first
two
weeks;
afterwards,
anim
als
were
fed
on
artemia
metanauplius
enriched
with
Isochrysis
galbana
.
A
dry
feed
(Gemma
0.4
and
0.8)
from
SKRETTING
S.A.
(Burgos,
España)
was
supplied
from
the
third
to
18th
month.
The
total
length
reached
by
sardines
at
one
year
of
life
was
162.02
±
9.
49
mm,
corresponding
to
a
wet
weight
of
36.12
±
10.82
g.
Total
length
at
18
months
was
182.37
mm.
A
long
experiment
(18
‐
month)
of
sardine
culture
is
described
for
the
first
time,
and
growth
data
reported
can
contribute
to
determine
its
potential
interest
as
a
candidate
for
marine
aquaculture
